Please join the Central East PTTC’s September peer sharing call on Thursday, September 12 to discuss strategies and opportunities for preventing underage drinking and adult binge drinking. This call will be an opportunity for preventionists to share their past experiences of obstacles and successes in this topic, ask questions of each other and the Central East PTTC, and provide feedback on what Central East PTTC training and technical assistance on the topic they would like to receive.
Among other topics, preventionists will be asked to share and discuss:
